The Bible does not say that we evolved nor that we did not evolve. It does not say that the world is only 4,000 years old. It doesn't say when or how God created the world and all its creatures.

I believe God created us. If you're a Christian then you ought to believe that. However, how exactly and when exactly he created us is another question. He may have created the inhabitants of the earth through the process of evolution. A lot of the evidence points toward that. God also might have spontaneously created us as many Christians believe. I don't know beyond a shadow of a doubt. I do know from my faith in God that both methods of how we were created are possible.

At Berea College, from where I just graduated a few months ago, the students have to take "Understandings of Christianity." Berea was founded upon Chrstian principles. This is not a class where people preach to you, though there is a professor that preaches and shoves liberation theology down your throat. This course looks at Christianity from an academic perspective.

Anyhow, the professor I had for that class was a moderate to liberal ordained Baptist minister. His explanation was that as a Christian, he is to follow the commandment "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul. He accepts evolution and calls that loving God with his mind.

I might point out that science is knowledge of the natural world and all the phenomena. Science cannot disprove religion. It certainly cannot prove religion to be true. The only evidence is faith or lack there of. I cannot tell a non-Christian what to believe or what not to believe and he or she cannot tell me what to believe or what not to believe. Religion and phenomena dealing with the supernatural cannot be touched by science as they truly are unknown and left up to faith.

I know what I believe to be true. I believe God is our father and that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose on the Third Day. I don't have to prove to any of you that it's true. That is between myself and God.
